  At night when all the world is still, And stars in glory shine, There comes to earth a whisper sweet Of peace and love divine. And gazing upward to the sky, Where million lights appear, We seem to see the heaven beyond, And feel that Christ is near. The weary day is past and gone, The angels sing again Of glory to the God on high And “Peace, good will toward men.” We seem to hear beyond the night The music soft and sweet; And laying all our burdens down, We rest at Jesus’ feet. Our trusting hearts and hope of heaven Have banished doubt and care, And Christ is waiting to forgive,— To answer every prayer. This love immortal is our guide, And shorter seems the way; Beyond the stars and night of earth Is home and endless day. |
